On Friday May 20 2011, Sophia's grandpa Robert Parker reported both Sophia and her mother Claudia Pedreros missing after discovering that they were missing along with the family car.
At around 9 am, Trinity County Sheriff's deputies located Claudia walking naked along Highway 3. According to officers, Claudia said she didnt remember having a daughter or how she got to Trinity County. The family car was also found, parked at the Trinity River Campground. All personl things, except for the child's car seat was found strewn along the highway. But there was no Sophia.
A search and rescue team starts looking for Sophia. They search pass midnight and begin again on Saturday. At about 1:20 PM, little Sophia was found dead in the Trinity River.
It was suspected that Claudia suffered from a mental health problem. However a judge found her to be capable of standing trial. She has entered a plea of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. She will be in court on August 17 to set a preliminary date.
With any hope justice for this sweet little girl will be served. Insane or not, that woman deserves nothing less then prison time. Her daughter only got two short years on this Earth.

***UPDATE***
Sadly, this is not a happy update. It was reported today that Shawn Morgan, a neighbor of Breann and her family, has been charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action and tampering with evidence in connection with Breann who was reported missing about a week ago. Police havent said if he has prior sex offensives.
From what the reports say, he murder Breann by suffocation, but there are not a lot of other details. He is schedule to appear in court on August 16 @ 9am. He is on a no bond order. Officers arent looking for anyone else at this time and teams are searching for Breann's body. They arent saying exactly where they are looking.
It was reported yesterday that both of Breann's parents, Edgar and Claudia failed police polygraph test. They offer no explanation of why that happened and in an interview with Nancy Grace, dad said he didnt believe that failed it. He said that he believed it was a technique used to get info. But we now know it was in fact their neighbor.
It is a sad and horrible update. My heart goes out to this beautiful little girls family. Please send prayers to the family. Even though Breann's soul is now with God and the Angels, I hope her little body is found.
Today is Caylee Anthony's birthday. She should be here celebrating her birthday with friends and family.
Today the facebook world will be lighting a candle and drawing a heart on their wrist in honor and in memory of this beautiful, bright eyed sweet baby.
Happy birthday Caylee. I hope your soul is at rest and that you are having the best birthday party with the angels.
Are you drawing a heart? If so post your photos either or on the FOA facebook page!
There are a million reasons your should NEVER drink and drive, but in case you need a million and one here is a video I found on Youtube in memory of the Lindsey children who were killed when a drunk driver crashed into the car they were in. Never think your sober enough too drive. Lives are way too precious to gamble on.
Who knew that Father's Day in 2009 would have such an impact on so many lives?
Three year old Teigan got caught up in her father's issues and it ended up costing her, her short life. Teigan's mom and dad had been divorced since 2007 and according to mom, he had been harassing her and she had to file an OP against him. There was tension between mom and dad and mom's boyfriend. But nothing could prepare Tisha Brown for such a tragedy.
When family members were unable to reach Ryan Peters on his cellphone, they got worried and called the police. They were worried that since the divorce and the lost of the child custody case to his ex wife Tisha, he had became suicidal. On June 19, Tisha had filed a custody interference complaint against Ryan when he failed to return Teigan to her per the agreement.
On June 21, the Mesa Police called the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in an effort to locate Ryan and Teigan. Ryan's family had contacted the Mesa Police around 5:30 pm concerned for him and Teigan. At this point the only thing that is known is that they went camping, but the location is unknown.
Sunday June 22, at about 9 pm, a family member of Ryan's tells police that he talked to Ryan and was told that he was camping in the area between Jacob Lake and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
June 22 at 12:25 am police located a campsite in the area of Parissawampitts Point off of Highway 67 that led to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is where he discovered two bodies, one to have been an adult male and the other a female child. Both with gunshot wounds. They were identified as Ryan and Teigan Peters. It was determined that Ryan shot his baby girl and then turned the gun on himself.
An innocent life taken. All for what? This beautiful bright blue eyed baby doll was never given a chance at life. Three short years here with her mommy was not nearly enough. Now all we can do is look at photos and videos and wonder what could have been.
Rest in peace precious little girl. You will be missed and in all of our hearts.
August 9th is Caylee's birthday and she would be turning 6 y.o. In honor of her life which was taken too soon the facebook world will be lighting a purple candle for her as well as drawing a heart on our wist. It is a small effort, but the main goal is to always keep Caylee's memory alive.
The lighting of the candle will take place starting on the 9th at 12 am and end on the 11th at 11:30 pm. The candle should be purple, since that was Caylee's favorite color. Draw A Heart On Your Wrist starts on the 9th at 12:30 am and ends on the 10th at 12 am.
As a woman and mother I dont know how someone could stand by and allow someone to beat to death they child. Well, that is excatly what happened in the case of Riley Ann Sawyers.
Riley Ann Sawyers was born to Robert Thomas Sawyers and Kimberly Dawn Trenor on March 11th 2005. Her mom and dad were highschool sweethearts and Kimberly got pregnant at just 15 y.o.
In 2006 Kimberly left the Sawyers' home with Riley and "disappeared". She moved to Spring, Texas so she could marry Royce Clyde Zeigler II. A man she met online. He believed that Riley should be disciplined to say "sir" and "ma'am" to adults, he had a list of rules for Riley. He believed that corporal punishment was the best way and began to take over the beatings from Kimberly.
On October 29th 2007, a fisherman named Robert Wayne Spinn found a container in the Galveston Bay. He believed it contained human remains. After it was discovered that the container did contain human remains and sketch and basic information was broadcasted. They officer's called her "Baby Grace".
In November, Riley's paternal grandmother Sheryl Sawyers called police after seeing a composite. She told them that she thought the drawing was of her granddaughter Riley who she hadn't seen in a while.
After a DNA submission from both Robert and Kimberly it was determined that the tiny remains in that container were Riley Ann Sawyers. During a videotape confession, Kimberly told police that she and Royce beat Riley with two leather belts, held her head under water in the bathtub. She said then Royce picked Riley up by her hair and threw her across the room causing her to hit her head on the tile floor. Kimberly also told police officers that Riley was smothered with a pillow. And then given child pain medications. Afterwards, poor Riley was ordered to stand, but she didnt have control of her legs. Once they realized that Riley was dead, they never discuss calling 911. Kimberly never once tried to stop the beatings. Instead the couple went to Wal-Mart and purchased a blue Sterlite storage container which is what they used to put Riley's little body in. They kept the container in the garage for two months before Royce decided it was time to move her because she started to smell. They tossed the container in the Galveston Causeway.
Kimberly told officers that Royce had attempted suicide and wrote a note where he appeared to take full blame for Riley's death: To Whom It May Concern I Royce Zeigler II leave my property to Kimberly Tenor Zeigler my wife. I take my own life because of guilt for past sins which I have confessed before I took life. My wife Kimberly Zeigler is innocent and lived in fear...because of thought of what I would do to her. Also my family can go burn in hell for their stress that they've caused. So here I take my own life. Sincerly, Royce Zeigler II During the DA's opening statement, she told the jury that Riley tried to stop her mom and stepfather from beating her by reaching out too her mom and saying "I love you". She also told the jury that Riley died because she forgot to say "please" and "thank you". Remember the list of rules Royce had for Riley here it is:
1. Being polite
2. Listen to mom & me
3. Sleep at 8 pm
4. Nap at 2 pm
5. Toys stay in her room
6. Puts toys back where she got em
7. Behaves in public
8. Never alone in out room
9. Chocolate/cake or treats only as a reward
10. (left blank) Simple right. A two year old should be able to follow these rules right? Although Royce later said during his trail that he was in a seperate room when Riley died, the jury did not buy it. They convicted him of capital murder on November 6th 2009 and received life in prison with no chance of parole. Kimberly was also convicted of capital murder on February 2nd 2009 and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 38 years. Her first eligible parole date is November 24th 2047. I think they both should have received the death penalty. The courts showed them way more mercy then either one of them showed sweet baby Riley.
May you rest in peace sweet angel. You are with God and no one will hurt you anymore.
